Use this command to delete a defined number of Frames at a specific time in the animation. Any Keys positioned on top of these Keys will also be deleted.

**Delete From**: This and all subsequent Frames will be deleted.

**Delete Count**: This is the number of Frames to be deleted.

**Ripple Mode**: If disabled, the time span within which the deleted Frames lie will be deleted, i.e., the animation will be shortened. The remaining animation will not be affected.

> **Tip:** Tip:A shortcut for the **Delete Frames** command can also be defined in the [Command Manager](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5224.html.md) for quicker access.
